CALLIOPSIS. Grows without trouble. Blooms by hun- —— dreds. A lovely flower. Shades of orange, yellow, crimson and brown. Pkt, 200 seeds, 3c. CALLIOPSIS, New Double. Handsome double sort. Golden yellow wine maroon zone. Pkt, 200 seeds, 3c. CALLIOPSIS. "California Sunbeams." Hardy. These love- ly improved varieties are much larger than any heretofore offered, and have the great recommendation of being early blooming; the flowers are beauti- fully formed with very long stems; some saucer-shaped, others flat, some Cosmos flowered, some exquisitely in- curved, while others are like great buttercups. The petals are broad, with pinked, toothed or irregularly fringed edges. Some are very light yellow, others a deeper shade, darker around the eye—all so fine, it is diffi- cult to say which is most beautiful. They are 3 to 4 inches in diam- eter. Pkt., 100 seeds, 6c. CALLIOPSIS LANCEOLATA GRAN Dl FLORA. "Golden Glory." A hardy sort blooming from seed the first year. Very large golden yellow flowers, of great ele- gance and beauty. The plant is cov- ered with flowers the entire summer. One of our most artistic flowers. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5o. ESCHCLTZIR CALIFORNIA POPPY. ESCHOLTZIA—CALIFORNIA POPPY. (California's Golden Glory.) These produce a wealth of beauty—a carpet of gold, unsur- passed by any flower grown. A flower whose grace is beyond criticism, whose beauty is unsurpassed. Produced in bounteous profusion. A spray of these is the artist's ideal. AVhat a picture they make. For hods and edgings they are a mass of flowers all summer. The ground is covered with the fern-like foliage, overlaid with these golden tulip poppies. Pkt., 250 seeds, 5c. NEW icSCHOLTZIA "THE GOLDEN WEST." The flow- ers of tins grand new variety measure from 3 to 6 inches in diameter, t lu y have very large, overlapping petals, often daintily waved at the edges. They are of various forms, some flat, some cup-shaped, others very deep with flaring edges. They are of a light canary-yellow color with an orange blotch at the base of the petals, which blotch often suffuses almost the whole flower. They are decidedly beautiful. Price, pkt., 6c ; 3 pkts. for 15c. GIANT YELLOW TULIP POPPY. ( Hunnemannia Fumariaefolia.)
